Chapter XXXIII
"Dingji, do you know how to play shogi?" Lu Jiu on the side asked, Lu Jiu has an obvious scar on his right forehead and under the corner of his right eye, which was left by fighting with ninjas from other villages when he was on a mission in the early years, and as Lu Jiu spoke, these two scars also twisted with the changes in his facial muscles.
"Ahh Ding Ci was thinking about how to deal with Hinata's challenge in the afternoon, and he didn't react for a while. He and his father Ding Za came to their house for dinner today at the invitation of Lu Jiuzhi, although his father said that Uncle Lu Jiu was interested in his fruit tea, but Ding Ci always felt that this was more like a new round of dinner for pigs, deer and butterflies?
"Uncle Kaku, I don't know shogi." It took a while for Ding Ci to answer.
"No, you can learn." Shikaku didn't seem to see Dingji's sluggishness, but motioned for Dingji to look at Shikamaru with his eyes.
"It just so happens that Shikamaru lacks an opponent, and if you learn it, I can make it easy."
Ding Ji looked at Shikamaru with a contemplative look on his face, and laughed awkwardly. Shikahisa is known as the Konoha Commander, and Shikamaru is a genius with an IQ of 200, although he is not stupid, but if he wants to go head-to-head with such an opponent with superior computing power in the field of shogi, it is really looking for abuse.
"Lujiu, what are you talking about?" A gentle voice came.
Ding Ji looked up, it was Yamanaka Haiichi of the Yamanaka family who led Ino over, and in this way, the combination of the new and old generations of pigs, deer and butterflies was complete.
"Haiyi, you're here." Lu Jiu got up and said hello. "When Shikamaru and I finish playing this game of chess, Yoshino's side will be ready for dinner."
"Shikamaru, hurry up!" Ino didn't care about the conversation between the adults, but ran over directly to watch Shikamaru play chess, and saw that the latter looked thoughtful and didn't take the next step.
"Wait!" Shikamaru, who is caught in the shogi world, is already in a state of high thinking, and even Ino's tugging and shouting can't affect him in the slightest.
Ding Ji watched with interest as Shikamaru closed his eyes, his hands were pointing at each other, and he hugged the center of the circle in front of his lower abdomen.
"Are you thinking about strategy again?" The corners of Lu Jiu's mouth curled slightly.
Everyone looked at Shikamaru and saw that he thought for about 1 minute before he opened his eyes and then took the next move.
Bang Bang Bang!
The next chess game seemed to become tense and bright, and the father and son of Shikakumaru played several moves in a row as if without thinking, and suddenly, Shikamaru threw away the chess pieces in his hand, exhaled a long breath, raised his head, and said to Shikaku: "Dad, you lost." ”
"Will!"
Lu Jiu looked at the chessboard carefully, thought for a while, and smiled awkwardly: "Haha, I lost." ”
"I'm distracted by a guest coming." Lu Jiu seemed to feel that it was a bit unreasonable to lose directly to his son in front of so many people, so he found a reason.
"Dad, this is the 286th game I've beaten you." Shikamaru didn't mean to show mercy to his father in the slightest.
"How many games have you played in total?" Ino's eyes lit up, and he was very interested.
"Since I started learning shogi, there should have been more than 1,000 games." Shikamaru answered Ino's question.
"Don't say it, don't say it." Lu Jiu was not ready to continue on this topic. "Everyone's ready to eat!"
"Okay!" As soon as it was said that the meal was opened, Ding Za, who was still eating snacks on the side just now, jumped out.
Ding Ci covered his face with his hands, and his father's eating habit may not be changed.
Everyone sat down in turn, this time it was a meal cooked by Shikaku's wife Yoshino at her own house, and Ding Ji tasted a few dishes, although the taste was not as good as the dishes of the Autumn Road Food House, but it was already very good in terms of home cooking.
"Ji Nai, did you bring the fruit tea?" Shikaku called out to his wife.
"Fruit tea?" Ding Ci secretly repeated in his heart, it seems that Uncle Lu Jiu is really interested in this matter.
After a while, 6 cups of fruit tea came up, and some Xiaoice pieces were served separately, packed in a small box, if you like to add ice, you can put it yourself.
"Ding Ci, what you made at home, be familiar with it." Lu Jiu looked at Ding Ci and smiled.
"Kumquat lemon tea, watermelon coconut juice, mint tea, orange mango juice." Lu Jiu obviously did some knowledge of fruit tea in advance, and accurately reported four varieties.
"Ding Ci, Ding Zuo said that you developed fruit tea, and he also told me that you set up a fruit tea counter and prepared to purchase a fruit tea direct sales store." Lu Jiu's eyes kept looking at Ding Ci, but his mouth did not mess up at all.
Ding Ci looked at his father, who was a little embarrassed, he just came to show off, but he didn't expect to be caught by Lu Jiu.
"Ding Ci, I have already discussed with your Uncle Lu Jiu what you said before, and you Uncle Lu Jiu means that I still want to talk to you." Ding Zuo scratched his head and said, he couldn't explain anything about the fruit tea, so he had to push Ding Ci to the front desk.
"What does Uncle Shikaku mean?" Ding Ci understood, and he asked tentatively.
"I mean it very simply." Lu Jiu smiled, and then said directly: "There is no problem with the direct head office, and there is no problem with the channel wholesaler model, but it is better for us to maintain a combination." ”
Lu Jiu made a pun, not only pointing out the inseparability of the three families, but also indirectly expressing his attitude of wanting a piece of the pie.
"Looks like you've already discussed?" Ding Ci didn't answer Lu Jiu's question, but looked at Hai Yi on the other side, saying that the pig deer butterfly was good, how could there be no Yamanaka family.
Hai smiled and nodded slightly to Ding Ci.
"Of course you can!" Ding Ci unexpectedly agreed directly, in fact, the matter of fruit tea is only the first link in his layout, he is a child, he is weak, and he is lacking allies, when he is really sleepy and has a pillow, of course he will not refuse, and he is warmly welcomed, pig deer butterfly is a dream combination of Konoha, and has been fighting side by side, there is no trust cost at all.
"Just." Ding Ci lowered his voice, which made everyone nervous again. "How does Uncle Shikaku want to participate?"
Fruit tea channel providers have their own network system, if only the Nara family and the Yamanaka family are regional agents, it will inevitably seem too overkill, judging from the current situation, Nara and the Yamanaka family's influence on Konoha is actually slightly greater than that of Autumn Road, of course, they are more of a watchful helper.
Ding Ci looked at the man in front of him who was called Konoha Junshi, and his IQ must have surpassed him, but Ding Ci had the business experience summarized by various marketing masters in his previous life, and he had a mature business model that had been practiced, and he Ding Ci was standing on the basis of modern marketing to play against Lu Jiu.
"All along, the Nara clan has been doing their job raising deer and providing medicinal herbs to the medical ninjas of Konoha, and we have a wide variety of medicinal herbs to sell."
"Medicinal herbs? This is contraband, right? Ding Ji frowned, he didn't think it was a good idea, Lu Jiu was the patriarch of the Nara family, although he had a high IQ, it was understandable to seek some better development for the entire clan.
"Of course, it's not about selling those special medicinal materials, but ordinary and standardized medicinal materials, which can treat some minor diseases." Lu Jiu said with a smile.
Ay! --
Sure enough, his father said everything that should be said and what should not be said, and Uncle Lu Jiu really grasped the core thing, and Ding Ci was full of emotion in his heart.
